Teacher Training Project in Adult Basic Education. September 1975 through August 1976.
Sica, Morris G.
This annual report is an evaluation of an adult basic education teacher training project at California State University in Fullerton in which 5 core courses and 10 elective mini-courses were offered to 25 participants who would eventually be certified as instructors and to interested inservice personnel in Orange County and adjacent areas. The principal thrust of the project was to offer practical courses in methodology of instruction appropriate to the needs of adults with limited English-speaking ability and to those who are economically and/or socially disadvantaged. Chapter 1 describes the model for the program evaluation. Chapter 2 describes the overall plan for the project, including a brief assessment of its accomplishments as of the date of presentation of the interim evaluation report, January 15, 1976. Chapter 3 describes the program in action. Descriptions of core courses are given in detail along with analyses of the relationship of topics and other course components to the potential accomplishment of course objectives. Specific recommendations are made in this chapter. Chapter 4 focuses on presentation and analysis of statistical data to discern the outcomes of the project based on 26 competencies which were designated as the specific goals of the project. Conclusions indicate that based on assessments of competencies at the beginning and the end, 22 of the 23 students who completed the program successfully attained the criterion level of performance. The appendix contains an illustrative course evaluation questionnaire, competency self-assessment scale, attitude scale, and instructor and course evaluation forms. (WL)
